The Crew saw movement across different media outlets' Week One Power Rankings following an impressive 3-0 victory on the road at D.C. United. The Black & Gold's biggest jump was in ESPNFC's rankings, where they moved from the 16th position up to number 11.

Matt Lampson joined forces with D.C. United midfielder Chris Pontius on Saturday night to give two D.C. area families a night to remember.

Jack Keffer (4 years old) and Giovanni Deavers (8 years old), who are currently undergoing leukemia treatment were able to watch the match at RFK Stadium and then take their families down on the field for the final minutes of the match before meeting with both Pontius and Lampson post-match.

Looking to continue the Hero program that Lampson started during the 2013 season, the goalkeeper will be working with LLS to invite a child and their family to every home and away match during the 2014 season.

Crew defender Michael Parkhurst and forward Federico Higuaín were recognized by MLSsoccer.com for their efforts in Saturday's 3-0 win over D.C. United as they were named to the Team of the Week for Week One. Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter has also honored with the Coach of the Week recognition.

Crew players Bernardo Anor, Steve Clark, Justin Meram, Hector Jimenez and Michael Parkhurst joined Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter on Monday to kick-off a three-month partnership with Habitat for Humanity-MidOhio and the 2014 Home of Hope.

This project will continue to be supported by Crew staff and will be finished this summer.
